(VPN), and features a simple, yet powerful, packet inspection firewall. For solar powered applications energy efficiency is vital and the MRD-315 has a special low-power mode to only be fully powered when needed. The built-in serial port offers a simple modem replacement solution with the benefit of not having to reprogram or change legacy components during an upgrade.

Network Indicator There are network indicators one for each SIM, i.e. MRD-315 (NET), MRD-355/455 (NET1, NET2) The indicator reports the status of the connection to the network. When powered up the indicator will be off, the indicator will then flash green whilst the unit searches for a network, once connected to the network the indicator will light green.
too low for a connection. When the unit is first switched on, or is reset the indicator will first light red, then flash red in sequence with the Status Indicator, this is normal behavior during boot-up and does not indicate a fault. Factory Default Reset Switch The reset switch is used to restore the configuration of the MRD to factory default settings.

The password can now be entered in the text field. The password is visible as it is being typed so that it can be checked for errors prior to being set.
Enable the Wireless Connection To complete the configuration of the wireless connection, set the ”Connection state” to ”Always connect” and click the ”Update” button to save the changes. Once the changes have been set, the MRD will initiate a connection. Normally it will take up to 30 seconds to esablish a connection.
Configure the LAN interface and DHCP Server To access the configuration page for the LAN interface and DHCP Server, select ”Interfaces” from the top level menu. A LAN interface screen similar to the one shown in Figure 10 will be displayed. Figure 10 Setting the IP Address If it is desired to change the IP address of the LAN port, follow the steps below:...
